New poll shows latest Maine election projections

In just over 2 weeks Mainers will cast ballots in the mid-term elections and in doing so will select a new Governor.

A new poll indicates that Democrat Janet Mills has pulled ahead in that race.

The poll conducted by Pan Atlantic Research, shows Mills with 44% of the vote.

That's ahead of Republican Shawn Moody who has 36%.

They are followed by Independents Terry Hayes and Alan Caron who have 8% and 2% respectively.

The polls shows that nearly 10% of voters indicate they are undecided at this point.

It also has a 4.4% margin of error.

A poll conducted by Suffolk University in August showed Mills and Moody in a dead heat.

A spokesperson for the Moody campaign told TV5 that the Pan Atlantic Research poll is "not accurate."

Working with our media partners WMTW and WAGM - TV5 will air a debate between all four candidates this Thursday night.

The same poll shows that Senator Angus King has an advantage over his opponents in his bid to retain his Senate seat.

King with more than 57% of the vote, followed by Brakey and Ringelstein with nearly 30% and 8% of the vote.

It would also appear to be another tight race for the Second Congressional District.

Incumbent Bruce Poliquin with 37% of the vote. Challenger Jared Golden right behind with 36.5%.

Tiffany Bond and Will Hoar well behind, but showing that more than 17% of voters are yet to make up their minds.
